""Both tender and bracing, this is a book that refuses easy answers, inviting readers to sit with discomfort, discovery, and the quiet power of resilience."" -Jeannine Ouelette, author of The Part That Burns and director of Writing in the Dark ""Her ability to write about painful experiences without sacrificing her sense of wit, her gift for incisive observation, and the need to make space for self-reflection is a testament to Gilmore's masterful gifts as a storyteller."" -Roy G. Guzmán, author of Catrachos: Poems ""This capable writer brings the reader through what is at times a difficult journey, yet her clear-eyed, innovative narrative driven by her inner strength makes this a worthy trip."" -Kate St. Vincent Vogl, author of Lost & Found and coauthor of Iron Horse Cowgirls
